Building On Previous Success
The extensive 2025 tour builds on Schwartz’s already successful run of improv shows. In recent Instagram posts, the comedian has shared highlights from sold-out performances across the country, including a particularly memorable fourth sold-out show at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre.
“Seattle. Oh how I love you. This was my 4th sold-out show at the paramount in Seattle and every single time we play that venue it is so so fun,” Schwartz wrote after his Seattle performance. His shows feature a rotating cast of talented improvisers, with recent collaborators including Lauren Lapkus, Eugene Cordero, Mary Holland, Drew Tarver, and Jessica McKenna.
A Unique Improv Format
Schwartz’s improv shows follow a distinctive format. Each performance begins with him asking audience members to share stories about “the most exciting day or night of your life,” which then become fodder for improvised comedy scenes. These audience interactions often create memorable moments, as evidenced by clips he’s shared from previous shows.
In one recent video titled “Ben Schwartz and Friends- Hijacked Plane Interview,” Schwartz and his fellow improvisers created comedy gold from an audience member’s story. Another clip showed a segment called “Plant Scientist,” demonstrating the varied and spontaneous nature of the performances.
Global Reach
The 2025 tour will take Schwartz beyond just American cities. After his Seattle show, he noted that his next stops would include Australia, where he’ll perform at prestigious venues including the Sydney Opera House, the State Theatre, and Hamer Hall. The tour will also include a three-city tour through Florida, demonstrating the wide geographic range of his performances.
